    Off the Wall is the best pop album ever made.

    Just magic.

    You don't consider Sign O' the Times a pop album ?
    It's over 30 years old and sounds like it could have been made yesterday.
    Off the Wall was out of date when it arrived two years after disco had already died.
    First five tracks are very good though - from then on I struggle with Off the Wall.

    Not that I'm any judge of music. The Who by Numbers is one of my favourite albums and the band and most Who fans hate it.

    Yeah look I was just really hammered last night and had it on in the room.

    My point had no real facts behind it.

    I saw them quite a few years back in London (2004 I think). At the time I wasn't a massive fan but my bro got me tickets. It was easily the most mesmerising live show I have ever seen, I stood awestruck for 2 hours and didn't move. It was a sweet show, they played with Arch Enemy and Ephel Duath (interesting Italian metal).Oh ,and the Haunted.

    Same trip I saw the In Flames show at Hammersmith that they ended up chucking out on DVD.

    and Madball at the basement of some pub.

    They were good times.

    Plagues post got me thinking about what is the "Greatest Pop Album of All Time"

    I'm thinking: Sign O' the Times - Prince OR True Blue - Madonna .

    Anything else that comes to minds either too dated, too heavy, too complicated, or contains too much filler.

    What would others pick ?

    Not a huge fan of the last 2 albums as they are moving more towards that rocky sound (ala gaslight anthem etc) but always worth giving another chance.

    Good Choice.

    If only they didn't put that terrible live cover of Bye Bye Love on side two. it's inclusion completely ruined the flow of the album.

    Bookends is great as well but not as accessible as Bridge Over Troubled Water

    I'd say it's generational.
    Ancient people would prob say The Beatles.
    Old people would be MJ/Prince/Madonna.
    The Yoof would probably put up early Bruno Mars or Taylor Swifts 1989.

    I'd side with the old people as MJ's production really still holds up. The thing with a lot of early Prince is that his drums are so weak and tinnie. He sure worked it out on the later stuff but that always bothers me.

    The best stuff Madonna did shits all over anything these pop stars are doing today (Gaga Beyoncé etc).

    What else is/was out there?

    Oh, Beach Boys is a great one.
    I don't know too many specifics but is there one album that defines them? Or longevity?

    Sure. I thought about them but here is why I didn't list them above Prince and Madonnas efforts.

    I don't think the Beach Boys ever made a good album that was accessible to the masses. I love Pet Sounds - but it's not an easy / enjoyable listen for most people.
    Beatles is a tough call as well because I wouldn't call their most accessible albums their best ones. If I had to pick one I'd say Sgt Pepper. But the problem is I'm talking about the mono recording only - the stereo version is terrible because the mix does not work. Revolver is probably their best album - but it has a few tracks which are a little deep to be considered pop orientated.
    White Album is a masterpiece or a sprawling mess depending who you speak to, Abbey Road is a compilation of left overs, Rubber Soul, Hard Days Night, and Help are great but definitely showing their age.

    The band hated it, the critics hated it, and the fans didn't buy it. The Beach Boys are much better known for their singles than their albums.

    In saying that I think Pet Sounds is one of the greatest recordings of all time - but it's not accessible for a lot of people apart from the three singles. The best material on Pet Sounds most people have never heard.

    Spice Girls - SPICE.

    Hate to admit it but it's pretty ****ing awesome as a pop recording. The melodic hooks and harmonies are near perfect. And if you didn't like the music you could always rub one out looking at the included poster.

    Carole King - Tapestry. Probably the greatest chick album ever made - not sure if it's universally appealing though as I can't imagine many dudes born after 1985 giving it the time of day.
